Join host Olivia Kachman as she speaks with co-author Marilyn Brighteyes about her personal experiences as a person of aboriginal descent and about her lived experience in residential school.

Get to Know Marilyn Brighteyes...

Marilyn Brighteyes was born carrying the burden of intergenerational trauma that is the consequence of centuries of colonization in Canada; in particular, the impact that residential schools had on aboriginal families. She grew up surrounded by abuse, drugs, and alcohol, but that part of her story is nothing new. What sets her apart, as an individual, is that she has chosen to rise above the

trauma. Her mantra is, “It is what it is until it isn’t."

Join host Olivia Kachman as she talks with Kimmy Krochak about the lack of support for men in terms of mental health and overall empowerment.

She also talks about why she made the choice to support and empower boys to men and #him2.

Get to know Kimmy Krochak...

Kimmy Krochak gifts the world with her energy, unique charm, humor, and ‘sass,’ with a slight sprinkle or more of princess (either self-sprinkled or sprinkled from the

universe), along with genuine heartfelt kindness and compassion for those she knows and meets. So, it is fitting that when she opened her multifaceted

business as an Energetic Empowerment Consultant & Coach, she called it, none other than “KimmyEnergy.” Kimmy works assisting souls around the world from her current

home base in Western Canada. Ego and judgment of other souls have no place, either in her personal life or in her business practice with clients. Down to earth is how she truly is as she speaks her

truth to her clients, classes, and at events. Kimmy champions survival, determination, and perseverance in the battles against heartache, horrific childhood traumas

(physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and sexual), as well as PTSD. Her gifts allow her to support and assist other souls in making the conscious decision about their own awareness;

encouraging individuals to choose to become more than they ever thought possible.
